count_frames: Count the number of frames in a TIFF file.

In ijtiff: Comprehensive TIFF I/O with Full Support for 'ImageJ' TIFF Files

Count the number of frames in a TIFF file.

Description

TIFF files can hold many frames. Often this is sensible, e.g. each frame could be a time-point in a video or a slice of a z-stack.

Usage

count_frames(path)

frames_count(path)

Arguments

path	A string. The path to the tiff file to read.

Details

For those familiar with TIFF files, this function counts the number of directories in a TIFF file. There is an adjustment made for some ImageJ-written TIFF files.

Value

A number, the number of frames in the TIFF file. This has an attribute n_dirs which holds the true number of directories in the TIFF file, making no allowance for the way ImageJ may write TIFF files.

Examples

count_frames(system.file("img", "Rlogo.tif", package = "ijtiff"))
